You complete your CPD sessions every year because you have to. That’s just part of keeping your license active in Queensland or NSW.
But here’s what you might not know: not all CPD providers are built the same way.
Many agents are surprised to find that some CPD sessions involve written assessments, quizzes or follow-up tasks—and rightly so.
In Queensland, approved CPD providers—such as Complete Property Training—are able to deliver training through structured, facilitated sessions that meet compliance requirements without mandatory written assessments. We focus on facilitation, discussion, and real-world application. But not every Training Provider is equal.
Why Some Providers Use Assessments
Some providers include assessments as a way to demonstrate evidence of learning. This is often due to limitations in their delivery model, particularly where training is conducted online or without direct facilitation.
While this may meet certain internal or operational requirements for those providers, it can create unnecessary disruption for agencies. Requiring agents to complete written tasks after training takes valuable time away from their day-to-day responsibilities and may reduce engagement with the training itself.
At Complete Property Training, our approach is different.
How Compliant CPD Actually Works
We believe CPD should be practical, relevant and immediately applicable to the workplace. Our sessions are designed to encourage discussion, explore real scenarios and allow participants to learn from both the trainer and each other. This not only supports compliance requirements but also ensures the training is meaningful and beneficial.
Importantly, this approach aligns with regulatory expectations. Approved providers are not required to assess participants through written assessments or exams in order to deliver compliant CPD. Instead, structured delivery, trainer oversight and participant engagement are recognized as appropriate methods of ensuring learning outcomes are achieved.
You attend. You participate. You learn from industry experts who’ve actually worked in real estate. You walk away with practical knowledge you can use immediately.
No homework. No waiting for marking. No disruption to your agency.
What This Means for Your Agency
For agencies, this means CPD can be completed efficiently, without unnecessary administrative burden or disruption to business operations. For participants, it creates a more engaging and practical learning experience—one that reflects the realities of working in the real estate industry.
As a registered RTO, Complete Property Training delivers CPD that meets compliance requirements while respecting the operational demands of running a real estate business.
Ask Before You Book
Before you choose your next CPD provider, ask one simple question:
“What assessments do I need to complete after the session?”
If the answer involves multiple assignments, online quizzes, or weeks of waiting for feedback, you might want to think twice.
CPD should enhance your skills and knowledge, not create more administrative work. It should feel like an investment in your career, not a tedious box-ticking exercise.
You have options. Choose the one that respects your time while still delivering the quality training you need to stay sharp in this industry.
